It did pick up after a while but wow was that a tough read. It took me a really long time to get into the story. It’s not a bad book but it’s very confusing up until the halfway point but then the ending is trying too hard to connect every single point together. I feel like this book could’ve used a little less plot points.

Definitely not the worst book I’ve read but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really like a more complex fantasy story.
